“a breathtakingly accomplished debut, and one that ably shows that there’s no reason that technicality and wider accessibility can’t co-exist. Hugely recommended.” 4.5/5 - One Metal

“Circles are primed for great things. While retaining an edge of progressive intricacy, they have created a very accessible and catchy EP full of songs you can sing along with and mosh to in equal measures. The Compass lays down a blueprint of excellence and hopefully the foundations of an amazing career for the band.” 10/10 - MWD Reviews

“It is basically simple, The Compass is easily one of the very best releases so far this year and Circles will be one of the most respected bands of all time in what could be on this evidence, the very near future.” - Ringmaster Reviews
